Chapter 247 Arriving in Maine

Shen Lu looked at the script. He was indeed a bastard and couldn't understand it at all. After about two pages, she nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, "I'll call Jiang Wen right now." !”

With that said, he happily made a phone call.

Lin Yu was a little helpless and just looked on with a smile. Most of the people in this circle, especially those at the lower levels, actually didn't really care.

More people are just like Shen Lu... who think filming is fun, want to be famous, think they are beautiful, envy beautiful women who make hundreds of millions a year, and invest in this industry regardless of their own safety.

They lack basic skills in acting, lack talent for art, and lack love and effort. Anyway, the crew's requirements for them are usually very low.

They continue like this day after day until they are eliminated from the industry.Or some people who like to follow evil ways end up being defrauded of money and sex, and then leave the industry.

There is not much difference.

On the contrary, these common current situations better reflect the state of all living beings... Working from nine to five day after day, if it is not for the pressure of the leaders, who is willing to work hard?
After working hard day after day, do you really feel what you are doing?Are you working hard for yourself?

Life is wasted in this confusion.

Half an hour later, when Shen Lu was chatting with Lin Yu and beaming with joy, a well-dressed girl carrying a leather bag came over, revealing a pair of slender legs.

"Shen Lu...ah, Lin, Lin Yu?"

"You guys started talking??"

Before Lin Yu could say hello, Jiang Wen was so shocked that her eyes widened and she said angrily, "No wonder Shan is so angry that she wants to go abroad. Shen Lu, how can you treat me like this! Oh, you are right for Huang Shan!"

Lin Yu, "..."

Jiang Wen, "..."

Jiang Wen solved the problem faster. She spread out the script and talked about a two-month shooting cycle and 5 yuan. Jiang Wen immediately agreed.

Are you kidding me? Not everyone is Shen Lu. I would be stunned for a moment when I hear such a great opportunity.

5 yuan, for two months, is equivalent to a monthly salary of [-] yuan.

Do you know what they are like now? Jiang Wen and Shen Lu are little sisters who met on the set of Jinfenshijia. Shen Lu is okay, at least she is getting film appointments intermittently.

Jiang Wen is miserable, she simply broke off the filming contract long ago, and now she refuses to leave, what is she doing, working as a fashion model.

That is to say, I took pictures for an online shopping platform in Qinzhou. I changed a thousand pieces of clothes a day and took various photos. I was exhausted. It cost more than 1000 yuan a day, and I still couldn't get orders every day.

"I met with a great director today, read the script, and won the role of the female lead."

As if she was afraid that Lin Yu would regret it, Jiang Wen immediately beamed and urged Lin Yu to take out the contract, without even looking at what was written in the contract, and just signed her name.

Then he turned his head, took out his mobile phone, put his finger on his white face, and said "yeah"

Then he posted to a circle of friends with a cold look on his face.

"Sister, I was right about you from the beginning. I always think of you when I have good things to do!" After all this, Jiang Wen was so happy that she hugged Lin Yu's neck and gave her an indecent kiss.

Lin Yu quickly wiped the lipstick and saliva on his face in disgust.

Jiang Wen smiled. This younger brother is white, tender, and shy. He is so cute!

She was so happy now. Meeting Su Qingtong was the wisest choice in her life!Qingtong couldn't fly with her sisters, but her brother didn't forget her!
No, the first thing I started with was a film appointment with a female lead. I, Jiang Wen, am going to take off!
"A Yu, do you need a girlfriend? I can be your girlfriend for as long as you want!" Jiang Wen put her arms around Lin Yu's neck and said with excitement.

"You bastard, let go of my brother!" Shen Lu and Jiang Wen got into a fight.

After all, they were girls, and the fuss couldn't stop at all. They were supposed to sign a contract, but it was past three o'clock in the afternoon when they were forced to listen to them bickering. You complained about the hard work of filming, and she complained about the bullshit of being a model.

Both of them were beaming with joy, and they looked like 'sisters have finally made their mark'.

"When you're a model, don't you know that you have to change into a thousand clothes a day, and you have to take pictures, and you have time to go to the dressing room? You change directly on the set."

"I really...if it wasn't for the amount of money I gave you, I wouldn't even shoot the dog."

……

After finalizing the two actresses and sending the information to Xing Xueming, asking him to apply for the visa in one go, Lin Yu began to soak in the library, looking through various information.

For example, the history of Maine and Connecticut, some information, and the history of some religions, and even the horror novels of Tiffany Edwin King.

At this sight, Lin Yu was shocked.

My thoughts are too small!

The problem with the script of "Encounter in the Cemetery" began to vaguely appear in Lin Yu's mind as a taller image... It was the ghost's inherent thinking that restricted me!
After deciding on three male actors and two female actors, it was time to go to the United States to choose the remaining ones. Lin Yu spent the remaining month in the library.

There is a vague problem in this script, and Lin Yu plans to break through it!
Since his subconscious tells him that there is a problem with this script, Lin Yu is not going to brush it off!
In mid-November, Secretary Liu Hui of Huace Film Company called to tell him that the "Cemetery Encounter" project in Qinzhou was successful and filming could begin. The filming license number had been approved.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. In late November, Xing Xueming called him and said that the visa had been processed. The two parties bought their own tickets and went to Maine before and met at the airport in Maine.

At this point, Lin Yu must set off for the United States.

After saying hello to his family, Su Qingtong, who had been busy outside for more than half a year, finally came back. It was a rare occasion for a family of four to get together and have a meal together. The next day, Lin Yu took an international flight to Maine. State.

Lin Yu began to feel like he was as busy as a corporate boss, flying around all day long. I heard that some bosses are so busy that they fly 360 days a year, 340 days a year.

Although Lin Yu feels that he is not that exaggerated, he does fly a lot throughout the year. Being a director is tiring!
It’s even more tiring to lead a crew by yourself!

Not to mention that I haven’t made capital yet. If I made capital, I would have to take care of all the company’s affairs myself. How would this life be lived?Who said doing capital is good?
stand out!
After all, international flights are much more relaxed than domestic flights, the seats are more business-like, less crowded, and the legs can be spread out a little more.

One-third of the people on the plane were even foreigners...ah, wrong.

In the second half of the journey, I will become a "foreigner".

All kinds of chattering sounds came softly from the side. Some people were holding computers and busy working on the plane. Lin Yu's poor English ability for exams could only be said "Hello". , "how many", if there are too many, it is better to use sign language.

Lin Yu put on an eye mask and fell asleep leaning against the window.

Even so, this international flight seemed too long. There was nothing we could do about it. It was expected to take twelve hours to arrive!No matter how much sleep I get, I won’t have to sleep for that long.When Lin Yu was drowsy and his neck was stiff from sleep, he heard the radio repeatedly broadcasting a mixed report in Chinese and English, "We are currently over the Pacific Ocean, the air flow is stable, passengers who need to use the toilet can now Free to move around.”

"Sir, do you need water for your lunch?"

"..."

I took the food. It was in a tinfoil box. I opened it and found simple food inside...it was fried like a lump of eggs, like stir-fried bitter gourd without salt, and two pieces of meat.

I lost your mother.

Lin Yu chose to order a cup of Coke.

I opened the window on one side and took a look. The entire plane was currently above the sea of ​​clouds. It was said to be above the Pacific Ocean, but I couldn't see the boundless sea.

After taking a few glances, Lin Yu closed the window, but heard a gurgling sound coming from the front row.

……

"Colette, are you really going to take on Hereditary?"

In the front row, there is a woman with a scarf wrapped around her neck, a large mask, and a face shield. Sitting next to her is a European and American man with snow-white hair. The skin on the latter's face is loose, as if it is about to fall off.

"This script is really good. I have no reason not to accept it, Daniel."

"But the market for horror films has been shrinking for many years, and there hasn't been an excellent horror film for many years. If you rush to take on this again now, the risk is too great."

"If the movie does not do well at the box office this time, it will also be a blow to your reputation. Colette, I advise you to think about it carefully."

"I have also read the script of this movie. Although it is exquisite, it seems small and weird. It may not be loved by market audiences. The most popular movies now are those from Marvel."

"Daniel, we can never get into those Marvel series, can we? I'm forty years old, and I can no longer receive good scripts. Hereditary is very good to me. I must not miss it!"

"Okay then." The man on the side could only shrug.

The plane landed at the Maine Airport. It was already three o'clock in the morning. Lin Yu could not help but take a deep breath as he completely set foot on a foreign land.

"Ah bah bah, who smoked marijuana?"

"..."

A group of bald men, as well as dark-skinned men, left in twos and threes with various exchanges. As soon as Lin Yu landed, his face was blank and confused. He couldn't even understand the signs, so he could only follow the crowd.

There will be no signal on the mobile phone right now.

The airport in Maine is very dilapidated, and its cleanliness is even far inferior to that in China. There are also very few people. This is why there are so few people on this flight.

Lin Yu followed the mark to the exit, where he waited for Xing Xueming to come to him. It was almost dawn when Xing Xueming arrived.

"Lin Yu, come here, take this phone." Xing Xueming, who was wearing a jacket and carrying a large backpack and holding a strange-style mobile phone and handed it to Lin Yu, said, "There's a number on it, it's mine. I went to exchange some US dollars."

Xing Xueming waved the money in his hand again, with a big smile on his face, "Let's go and have a rest first. Starting tomorrow, we will look for a place."

"But you have to reimburse the money."

Lin Yu shrugged. He was unfamiliar with the place. That was the case.

"Lead the way."

Xing Xueming took Lin Yu to a motel and stayed there. The environment here was not good, even a bit bad. All the facilities made Lin Yu feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar.

But conditions are like this in Maine.

This is already an urban area in Maine. Going further out, the state will be even more desolate. Indians and blacks live together, and public security is poor. I dare not say that shootings happen from time to time, but robberies happen every day. This is definitely not unfair.

This wave is definitely not embarrassing.

It’s definitely standard here not to go out once it gets dark.

"There are sixteen universities in Maine. This is easy. The Maine government is very tolerant of filmmaking. They would like you to film here to attract more tourists."

Washing his face in the bathroom, with the sound of running water, Xing Xueming said vaguely, "Let's go to a few abandoned mental hospitals tomorrow to see if there are any suitable ones."

"Yes, let's go see the school again."

"I still want to see the scenery. Can I get the key? I want to go in and investigate. I hope this mental hospital will have an underground tunnel. I also need to contact the local actors union. I need some people."

Xing Xueming wiped his face and said, "Okay, we can do this later, no trouble."

After resting until the next day, Xing Xueming took Lin Yu to investigate. There were quite a few abandoned hospitals in Maine. It didn’t even have to be a mental hospital, or even a hospital, right.

Throw some props in and say this is a hospital. Who knows whether you are right or not.

After all, Xing Xueming was a veteran here. He rented a car early in the morning and took Lin Yu for a ride on the street. While smoking, he said, "Let's go to the first one first."

Lin Yu looked at the scenery outside the window and walked out of the city. Maine Town had a rather Gothic style. Many walls were covered with graffiti. Some black people gathered together in twos and threes and looked at the two people in the car with unkind eyes. People with yellow skin.

What was even more exaggerated was that Lin Yu saw someone in an alley taking drugs in broad daylight.

As for some homeless people wrapped in dirty blankets and sleeping on the spot, there are even more homeless people everywhere.

Lin Yu watched silently. If you want to photograph a country well, you have to understand it deeply. Even if you know a little about foreign countries, Lin Yu probably knows that those old friends who are homeless may not be like this at the beginning.

Some are impoverished and divorced after the Marriage Law... The high alimony allows them to devote their lives to raising their lover's children, and they simply spend their entire lives lying in ruins, lying on the street waiting to die.

This series of scandalous practices has made the phenomenon of "living together" and having children without getting married rampant in the United States, and no one can afford the legal costs after marriage.

The car looked outward, and in the distance, countless mountains and trees began to gradually come into view.

The first trip I went to was a small town with a small population of more than 3 people. There was a hospital that had been abandoned 12 years ago, which was just right.
